Stephen, How can you be so naïve?
"Government" is not engaged in protecting you. It's in the pockets of the monopoly corporations. That's why it is so difficult to free trade.

Sounds effective, but maybe too effective. How does it work? How do you sub to a list like FW? If you build "igve" into your address it defeats the purpose. OTOH, if you don't, how can you get FW mail? What if a correspondent forgets to put "igve" into his/her message and then assumes that you don't wish to reply (when, in fact, you never got his/her message)? curioser and curioser, Stephen Straker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Vancouver, B.C. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
